Cosmetics and hairdressing A story of colorful harmony
As a child, Sandrine danced for many years under the guidance of a former Bolshoi Art star — a journey encompassing aesthetics, elegance, discipline, and sensitivity, where beauty takes tangible form. Years later, armed with a master's degree in international business, she joined a San Francisco-based company importing art supplies: oils, watercolors, canvases, easels, etc. Upon returning to Paris, her venture into the world of cosmetics was marked by the launch of the Sebastian International brand on the French market. That moment precisely foreshadowed the creation of Sunflower Agency.

French of Armenian descent, Sandrine Steltzner grew up in a multilingual household where 4 languages were spoken.

The language of Shakespeare A heartfelt tale
First Hollywood film, first emotional impact. It was a revelation that would go on to influence the course of both her personal and professional life.

Indeed, this period shaped and solidified her unwavering determination.

As Voltaire liked to say:
“Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.”
